UPDATE - OCTOBER 2018

We are very happy to report, that the study has recently been completed by the consulting firm (Kimley-Horn) that was hired. LA City Councilman David Ryu has drafted a motion to City Council, to have LADOT review the study for feasibility & costs to implement the recommendations.

Once this is done, the plan is to then have one or more community meetings. To be informed of these, be sure to sign our petition (link below) as we will communicate to all who sign it.

PEDESTRIAN INJURIES

THE STATS DON'T LIE

It has been claimed by those who love the Rowena "road diet" that it is now safer for pedestrians around Rowena. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is actually now more dangerous for pedestrians. While this certainly seems counter-intuitive, it does not change this fact.

We studied a 10 year period using the SWITRS database, 2006 - 2015. Pedestrian injuries were 1.14 per year, during the non-road diet years of 2006 - 2012. Once the road diet began in 2013, the pedestrian injury rate jumped to 2.0 annually—a 75% increase.
